Our surgeries are quickly approaching!!! Are you ready? Do you still have things to get?

I am so excited! I am going on a mini vacation this weekend and then come home and start my pre op diet. My surgery is August 5th.

There is a facebook support group just for August Sleevers if your interested.

@@ayscott74 yay! Glad you've had a good recovery and are getting out as planned. Keep up the good work!

Remember to sip sip sip!

I am 1 day post op and feeling well. I don't have much memory of yesterday except waiting my turn. Good luck to all of you on your surgery dates

Congratulations Karibari!

12 hours from now, I will be preparing for an 11 a.m. surgery. I am really very calm about this surgery, which kind of scares me. Things have just gone so well in preparing and getting approved, that I feel the surgery will be "textbook", as they say. The recovery is what I'm not so sure about. To everyone who has already had surgery, congrats!! To those having surgery tomorrow, good luck!! To those to have surgery in future, best of luck!! See you back in a few days.

Had my surgery on the 11th. After recovery room have had very little pain.. no gas pain at all.. mild incision pain. No nausea. Just a headache. So far things are great. Set to go home today.. best wishes to everyone.

My Surgery is scheduled for August 26... have been on a preop diet now for 3 weeks - 13 more days togo. Im nervous and excited... Im more nervous about the plane flight to the surgery than the actual surgery itself. Im going from Florida to Tijuana.

I am on day 3 of an all liquid diet. I feel okay. It seems like I have to pee every 15 minutes. But I did better yesterday than I did on day one. I found Chinese wonton broth to be yummy and filling. I also had Olive Garden minestrone broth and it was under. 100 calories. I actually felt like I had real food yesterday. If anyone is looking for yummy broths, Swanson makes a Mexican tortilla flavored one, Chinese hot and sour, and Tuscan chicken flavored. Hope that helps. I felt like I had a lot yesterday, but I only managed 600 calories but I had 80 grams of protein. Go figure. Prayers are going out to those sleeved and to be sleeved this week.

Jz0917 thx for the broth suggestions. I have to go to the store today and will definitely try to pick up a few of those. I can have some veggies so that would be good in one of these broths.

Sandy in Fl, three weeks of pre-op? Wow! I am on day three and I feel like I am starving like Marvin, lol. It has been a rough two days so far. On top of that, I am a grazer. A BAD habit that I need to kick. I have seen a lot of sleevers go to Tijuana for the surgery and they were very successful.

Here's to August 26th!

Monique I am the 26th also!! I have been doing a weight loss diet since June 20th. But only have to do clear liquids the day before. Good luck to you!! Will be interested to see how you do.

I've having surgery on August 26. I have no requirements as far as a diet beforehand other than clear liquids the day before. Yet I have been drinking two protein shakes as meal replacements and have lost a few lbs.

My question is for those who have had the surgery already? How does it feel the few days afterwards? Is there pain? If so for how long? Does it hurt when you sit and stand up? Would I be able to play golf within a week? If my job is sedenary will I be able to work in a few days? Also, is there psychological hunger? Any suggestion for post-surgery would be appreciated, and also how you feel?

So many questions so little time.......

I am August 25th as well!

My surgery is the 21st getting exciting and nervous all at the same time.

I did not like the fage yogurt even though it has 18grams protein taste so bad but I read a few threads and have now bought the sugar free syrup and used some in it. Delisssshhhhh. Mmmmmm!!! Try it guys. 18 grams of protein can't beat that.

I'm starting my pre-op Opti-Fast diet tomorrow. It will only be one week pre-surgery. I thought they would reschedule me when I told them that my surgery is 8/28/14 and I never got the Opti-Fast until Wednesday. Today is the 15th already. I'll start on Saturday and go in the on the 20th to be weighed. I'll only be on the Opti-Fast for 5 days before the weigh-in. Then 8 more days until surgery.

Hi Chubalicious - I was sleeved the 11th of August as well. How is your post op going?
